In the press, on the radio, and on the movie-news and TV screens the public has learned that the Studebaker-Champion made the highest actual gas-mileage score among all of the 23 cars entered in the standard class. It has also been established that Studebaker's Commander, from that same realistic standpoint, won second place honors in the AAA-Contest Board certified Run. So says Leavitt Ford, of the local Studebaker agency at 226 S. Los Angeles st., who has just returned to Annheim with a stock 1952 Studebaker Demonstrator, properly tuned-up and emblazoned with signs. The car signs quote the Economy Run gas-mileage figures—Champion 27.8 miles per gallon; Commander V-8, 25.8 miles per gallon. "The car I brought from the factory," said Ford, "was one of 80 delivered to Southern California and Arizona dealers for this special post-Run demonstration. I, and all the other dealers, propose to prove to anybody interested that the sensational Sun Valley economy averages can be obtained by any driver. Any Studebaker owner, or prospective owner, with a properly-tuned car, rightly driven, can equal, or at least more vehicles Point Up Need For Highways SACRAMENTO (CNS) — California's needs for new highway, educational and institutional facilities remain unfilled despite huge sums spent on them since the war. Governor Earl Warren made this observation at a meeting of his council here, and indicated that the administration will launch a new drive for a highway expansion program at the 1953 legislative session. The census bureau, he pointed out, estimates California has gained 450,000 population last year. He said this is as though "we add one new city of 9000 people each week." "It shows," he said, "how we have to keep looking forward on all our programs, or we're sunk." Richard A. McKee, director of corrections, said completion of the new $12,000,000 medium security prison at Soledad has provided little relief from 'overcrowding' at San Quentin, with overall penal population gaining 747 for the first three months of the year. Dr. Roy E. Simpson, state superintendent of public instruction, said school officials are "in a dilemma on how to house" thousands of new school children because of the legislature's failure to certify a new construction bond issue for the November ballot. The governor said he is ready to call a special session of the closely approach, the thrifty marks made by our winning drivers on the Mobilgas Run." Hal Boyle NEW YORK UP—War is like matrimony. Whoever it touches it changes. Many who go through a war emerge from it with nothing but a feeling or resentment for the time it has taken out of their lives or the way it has frustrated their personal plans. War teaches others how to preciate the deeper joys of living. That is an odd byproduct of the business of killing. The most immoral thing about war is its waste. And I think that in time this is what you get to hate most about it—the waste of life, the waste of food, the waste of money and metal. Everything about war is wasteful by necessity, and this fact weighs upon a man more and more. It is a violation against natural economy, the inherent urge in everybody to conserve. In war you see so many things tossed away needlessly that it hard ever afterward for you to throw anything away yourself. You become not so much a miser as a string-saver. Most Americans take their food clothing and shelter pretty much for granted. War teaches you how basic these things really are, and legislature as soon as there is reasonable belief that lawmakers can agree on the subject. It was also noted that vehicle registrations are up 328,000 over last year, a factor which the governor said will make additional highway construction "more necessary than ever." WELDING is an art that has also PROGRESSED! Since the days when Anaheim was founded ... and the “Village Smithy” served the community in all its iron work needs ... the evolution of steel construction has brought rapid development of scientific welding methods.

When you have shivered in a cold foxhole a few nights, the chance to sleep in a warm bed seems a blessing almost too wonderful to stand. BUT WHILE war gives you a real understanding of primary essentials it also removes a lot of snobbish delusions you may have had about what you ought to eat and where you ought to live. It teaches you that anything tastes good when you are really hungry, and that any place out of the wind's way is good enough when you really worn out and sleepy. No man who has known the real privations of combat ever again feels in his heart that he has to own a 12-room house to be happy. War kindles a new appreciation in you for the simple pleasures in life you always took for granted before. You learn that things really hold meaning to you, what are unimportant—which goals you really eliciting to, which are no longer worth idly dreaming of. A sunset is a vast thing to you when you know it may be the last one you'll ever see. Patience is a virtue war teaches to many. In wartime you have to spend so much time interminably waiting . . . waiting . . . waiting . . . that if you cannot learn to curb your impatience you are likely to fret yourself into a quick insanity. Perhaps the greatest gift of war is the instilling of an understanding of loyalty. The battlefield is the great crucible of friendship, and nowhere else is it tested more firmly. Men who have faced danger and shared fear and fought it down together know an unbreakable comarade ship, a bright bond that will never fade.
